But those that do - if you do, it means you know about house clothes.When I was a kid, we even had yard clothes.

Recently, driving through town with my
daughters and the older one snorted when apparently I made an involuntary intake of breath while driving past
someone in paddock clothes in the main drag.

I can’t help it.I
grew up with it.It is cultural.

Its not that I am what one would call at fashionable or
even approaching appropriately attired at all times.

However there are many women in my family that one has to
either attempt to meet their standards or adopt a whatever attitude.

And just because I have
taken the latter approach – that doesn’t mean that the conditioning still
has fair sway in my mind.

See, we were Country growing up – and that means at least a half hour in a car before you get to town – so there are logistics
involved, some thought needs to go into the venture – and that includes pulling
yourself together a bit.

Not like you Town kids, who you stepped out of
your front doors to civilization.
